What is a sanctuary?

 

 

A sanctuary (religious or non-religious) is wholeness experienced as (or within) a particular real identity, that is to say, as wholeness, i.e. completion found within an actual limit or boundary.

Arrival at (indeed, having transformed one’s self as) a sanctuary (and which is the virtual (rather than actual) end of a particular pilgrimage) produces the experience of absolute wholeness (hence of @100% fullness, hence of total fulfilment) of a particular identity.

Entry to the midst of a sanctuary, and which means leaving the enclosure-that-limits behind, and which means relinquishing real identity (i.e. particular boundary or limitation), results in access to (actually merging with or being immersed in or @1 with) unbounded wholeness, namely SANCTUM(i.e. the Holy of Holies or the Ground of holiness) before real identity, or to undifferentiated, hence universal wholeness (in some quarters expressed as ‘the peace that passeth all understanding-identification).

 

Since, however, SANCTUM (i.e. identity and reality free wholeness, completeness, certainty and so on) cannot affect without identity, that is to say, without boundary (hence not presenting as an identifiable unit) and therefore act spiritually, i.e. make real and display identity, i.e. become an identifiable unit of reality), the wholly fulfilled state (i.e. the pilgrim inside and @rest (hence holy) in her home and released from identity) must leave SANCTUM (i.e. holiness as such). She does that by limiting the SANCTUM as an identifiable self, therefore as a particular sanctuary, in the process sacrificing (in fact denying) her state of unlimited wholeness (and becoming an incomplete, in religious-speak, a ‘sinner’, a profane) and accepting the sorrow (and later on joy) of less-than-perfect-(i.e. unbounded)-fullness/wholeness.

 

Every true self (i.e. a unit of identity (or difference), read: a particular sanctuary) operates as SANCTUM limited, hence particularised, hence relativised, hence merely locally (or relatively) true. In short, each and every appearance (read: a turbulence or order of 1 presenting as reified turbulence) in the universe is holiness as such (hence absolute) relativised. Therefore, all forms @ rest (i.e. saints in their sanctuaries), therefore presenting as potentially real identifiable steady states, are virtually holy. They become holy (or whole) as everyday reality only upon contact with an alternate virtually holy state.

 

Unit (i.e. quantum) status = virtual holiness status. Random contact (i.e. strike or instruction) between 2 units (or quanta) results in actual (or real) holiness status for both.

 

Since both units (or quanta = sanctuaries) are ‘dead’, i.e. internally @ rest, i.e. @ maximum anti-entropy, to begin life they must collide, thus fragmenting (i.e. becoming active (or turbulated), thereby losing their unit status. In short, the price for creating a moment of real and identifiable holiness is the loss of holiness. By interacting with the world, the saint becomes a sinner. The sinner becomes a saint by denying (i.e. forfeiting) the world, namely identifiable reality.

 

Consequently, “Life happens after death”.
